As a multimedia journalist, whether it’s covering the Mike Brown protests, a rooftop photo shoot or interviewing Vance Joy at the rooftop of the Fonda Theatre in DTLA, I am constantly on the go.

Cue self-loathing and re-reading my rejection letters 5 times each. It’s hard to deal with the doubt that creeps into your head and combat the emptiness of not feeling like you belong. To be completely honest: I was broken up about it for the rest of day—it was a double whammy and I couldn’t deal.

Have you ever been stood up by your Campus Cruiser, waited a solid 10 minutes longer than expected, or was placed on hold for 20 minutes before making it through to the dispatcher? Like many, I frequently take advantage of USC’s free taxi service to save money on Uber drivers and to get from point A to point B safely when it’s late. Sometimes, however, the inconveniences of using Campus Cruiser far outweigh its conveniences. For example, if I need to be somewhere in 15 minutes, I consider walking or calling an Uber because I don’t feel as if Campus Cruiser will receive and process my call in a timely manner. I am not alone—many share these feelings toward Campus Cruiser.

Do it for the fresh air (do you even remember what that tastes/feels like?), do it to challenge yourself, do it to meet some rad new people, do it to get to know some of USC’s best and brightest professors outside the classroom, do it for the insta… I’m not going to get hung up on your intentions, so long as you take a hike with Peaks and Professors.

In the legendary 2001 cinematic masterpiece, Zoolander, Ben Stiller’s male model persona sums up my existential purpose. Ona side note, my mom is the only one who thinks I’m ridiculously good looking.But that’s beside the point. Whether you’re obsessed with your body, GPA, alcohol tolerance or dreams of riches and fame, sometimes things don’t seem to satisfy you. You want something more, something satisfying and fulfilling.

A recap of the Study Abroad fair: I’m genuinely sorry you missed it; I had an awesome time. As did my dear friend, Kathleen, despite her rather indifferent expression (pictured above).

January is coming to a close and I have one question: have you stuck with your new year’s resolutions or have you forgotten all about them already? Don’t fret if you already gave up because according to Forbes only 8% of people actually achieve their New Year’s resolutions this year.
